Monday's draw up for your reflection is King of Wands. King of Wands embodies radiant charisma, outgoing athleticism, vibrant health, and bold and creative action. Men and women alike are drawn to the warmth this King radiates out to others; utterly confident in his decisions and approach he shines charm on others and dissipates insecurity, indecision and doubt as a natural leader.

1. What are you over-thinking instead of taking action on? What is truly stopping you?

Today's final draw for the week is the 9/Wands. 9/Wands reflects perseverance in the face of adversity, stamina to overcome obstacles, careful and defensive maneuvers. 9/Wands encourages you to remain steadfast and disciplined as you finish the last leg of a race, finish out that job you hate and leave with dignity, to remain committed to your goals and know that this final test is a big one, and what you have been working so hard for is just around the corner.

We tend to repeat lessons until we learn them and some of the lessons are hard. 9/Wands is another card that tempers your resolve by placing challenges in your way, and to warn you of a battle on the horizon. Whether you pass the test has to do with how hard you are willing to work and how much you, ultimately, believe you are capable of. 9/Wands is a gamechanger; walk the fire and come out on the other side.

1. When faced with adversity, what do you do and how has that served you?

     attitudes/headgame did you play that made you successful?
